TikTokers Share Why They Didn’t Make the Olympics in a Series of Hilarious Videos

A dream for any athlete is to make it to the Olympics and compete for a medal. However, only a rare few get to live this dream, while those who don’t make it do their best to cope with the disappointment. Some go back to train even harder, while others find a funny side to the whole situation.

Recently, TikTok has been taken over by a new viral trend that sees internet users sharing why they didn’t make the Olympics through a series of hilarious videos.

The clips usually feature users taking part in one of the sports featured at the Olympics and failing miserably at it. An accompanying message in which they “sadly” announce that they haven’t made the Olympics or the U.S. Olympic team is included.

One of the most popular videos among the bunch was the one from @www.ihaveacrushonyou. In the clip, which got 88 million views since being shared last week, the TikToker is seen attempting a dive that ends up in her falling flat on her back in the water.

“So unfortunately I was not chosen for the usa 24 Olympic diving team,” @www.ihaveacrushonyou wrote in the text across the video while adding “maybe next year” in the caption.

The trend was so popular that even actress and Alias star Jennifer Garner took part.
